You're experiencing gender confusion or gender dysphoria. Are you exhausting yourself trying to figure it out on your own? Your anxiety only adds to your distress. Gender dysphoria may manifest as depression, anxiety, or feeling disgust at the way your body looks. You can learn ways to cope with dysphoria or reduce dysphoria.
Don’t give up. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive atmosphere where you’ll receive expert care from an experienced LGBTQIA+ identifying therapist. Together, we’ll use the evidenced-based tools of CBT to help you examine negative thoughts, explore options for gender expression, and learn critical coping strategies to manage difficult emotions.
Let’s find you short-term relief while you build lifelong coping skills. Become more comfortable in your body. Practice greater self-compassion and acceptance. I can’t wait to meet with you and hear your story. Call me today for your free 15-minute consultation. And together (with my sweet Shih Tzus, Navi and Sophie by our sides), let’s help you find peace.
